Love this and the main recipe as described is great including lemon zest and sugar rim (yes the sugar rim, I like sweet). Used Tanqueray 10 and Bitter Truth Violette. Which were great but I’m sure there are many possibilities which will work as well. A new favourite for sure.
Definitely a favoured cocktail here. Consistent with my sweet preference, I double the Maraschino. Must confess I have not yet added the lemon zest twist. Must remember to do that.
I really rate this one, it's on my list of top cocktails. The proportions are about perfect for my taste. I use Plantation Original Dark Rum, and that seems to work very well.
